Description
B&T began brewing as an independent brewer in 1982 under the name Banks & Taylor's, with the aim to produce traditional cask ales using only the finest raw materials.

In 1994 Banks & Taylor's became B&T Brewery Ltd and continues to produce top quality, award winning cask ales today. Using traditional methods and a combination of pale, wheat, crystal and roast malts along with Challenger, Golding's and Cascade whole hops, B&T are able to produce over 30 different beers, each with their own distinct character and flavour.

Seasonal specials are produced to celebrate or commemorate the many different traditions, folk laws and historical events that have taken place locally.

In 2020 the Brewery was shut down and beers contract brewed at 3 Brewers.

[Cask at the Nag’s Head, Reading] Deep ruby-black, small tan head. Autumn fruits and caramel in there, but flavours are a bit muted. Gets very sweet by the end. Very smooth and oily to the point of cloyingness, yet somehow overall feel was of a rather watery weak beer. OK.

Guest cask at the Pembury Tavern, London, on 18th September 2009. Copper coloured with thin, but lasting, white head. Malt and caramel notes and some delicate spice in the main kick(mainly mace and nutmeg); some floral hop and citrus. An interesting mouthfeel and finish in which all seems to evaporate rapidly leaving the mouth quite dry. I was not too keen on this aspect of the beer.

Cask@GBBF2009 (as Dark Mild). Very dark brownish amber colour, close to black. Not much head. Aroma is dark chocolate, dark fruits along with some notes of leather. Flavour is quite much the same along with some rather meaty notes as well.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Light amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of biscuit malts/lager malts. Flavour is lager-like, with bitter malts, and a bit metallic. This stuff is not good. Rerate. Cask @ Bon Accord. Biscuit malts, sour finish. +.2
